New Construction and Home Staging is Alive and Well in Tulsa Oklahoma!

Tulsa is having a great home selling season in 2010. Lots of homes have been sold and new construction is alive and kicking. Tulsa is a great city and a beautiful place to live.

I have posted a few before and after photos of a new construction that was staged by us - Staging Tulsa home stager in Tulsa. The 'before' photos are last. The elctricity was not on yet.

Home Staging is all about a great presentation and helping home shoppers with a great connection. 

Guess what… so are the internet photos.

Let me ask you a few questions. The two photos are of the same room that was staged by our Staging Tulsa home stager, which master bedroom can you ‘feel’ or envision yourself  living in? Which one offers you more connection to the room? How do your internet photos look or how do you want them to look?

Today, the internet is where we shop for homes. Think for a moment of your listing photos as your property’s ‘store front’.  Think of a real estate search site as ‘The Mall’ and your property listing is a store within The Mall. At The Mall, shoppers walk by looking in the stores, checking out what is in the display window to see if they are interested in going inside. This is exactly what  happens with  home buyers.  Thanks to iPhones, lap tops office PCs and home PCs, we can cover many ‘stores’ in a small amount of time, almost any time we want.

There are many homes for sale… which photos will catch the eyes of the home buyer… will it be yours?

Lots of traffic is the number one goal of your listing photos. If your photos are not generating traffic then there is something that needs attention… talk to your Realtor.

Great Photos are like Great Home Stagings,

they invite a home buyer to pick up the phone and call their Realtor.

Home Staging TIPS for your 'For Sale by Owner' Home

 

There is lots of work to be done if you are selling your home on your own. The old 'sign in in the front yard' is just the beginning! Here are a few reminders.

#1. Show a SQUEAKY CLEAN house - this includes cabinets and closets. 

A din table

#2. Get ready to LIVE squeaky clean every day your house is on the market! Everyday, Remember to make your bed, take a small sack and go through the house and collect clutter (just takes 3 minutes), empty kitchen sink, etc. Buyers love well kept homes!

#3. Stage your home to sell. Refresh your home with new sofa pillows, new fireplace screen, new neutral comforter sets and fresh towels. New furnishings will give a house a 'well cared for' feeling. Is there too much furniture in the house? This will it make seem cramped and look small. Are your window treatments open? Bright and airy sells homes.

  Are your furnishings dated? pack them away, they are presenting your house to buyers with an 'I'm an old house' look - this is a very negative effect. Just take them out! This will also give your home the 'less crowded' feel that you want.

#4. The outside of your home is as important as the inside. EVEN in the winter months. Don't skimp, use a great mulch and use plenty of it. Keep your front entrance swept - every day. This area is the buyer's first impression - make it a great one.

#5. Market you home well! Home Staging IS marketing.

Curb Appeal Brings a Lasting Impression when Staging your House for Sale in Oklahoma!

Your home needs just as much WOW FACTOR on the exterior as it does the interior. The first impression begins when the home buyer sees your house listed on the Internet, then it continues as they drive up to visit the house that has grabbed their interest! If this key area (curb appeal) doesn't get their attention, you may NEVER get them into your house.

Great CURB APPEAL begins a lasting impression for home buyers and helps to create that 'I desire to live here' feeling.

Home buyers are looking for a house to fill their vision of their DREAM HOME and it is up to you to bring this to them when staging your home for sale. Begin with the curb appeal!
